I don't think anything wrong with the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHLEVEL format, I think it's fairly obvious, and is widely used. I'm not a huge fan of rolling over into double digits though, unless you started with double digits to begin with. For example 1.09 to 1.10 is logical to me, but 1.9.1 to 1.10 is no

Traditionally it is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHLEVEL, definately more than a patchlevel thing, and way more than minor, so either 1.10.x or 2.x.x if your following that standard. 1.10 feels weird, but not sure 2.x is warranted just yet. Could ditch all that and use dates ala ubuntu, making it what...like 12.
